Job description
The Opportunity
A day hospitalist line at a 139-bed Prime Healthcare hospital in Michigan's Blue Water Area, working with APP support and an open ICU running around four patients with 24/7 tele-intensivist coverage behind it. Call is 1-in-3 and built into the salary rather than bolted on. Port Huron itself is waterfront boating, beaches, and a cost of living that makes a hospitalist salary go considerably further than it does downstate.
What You'll Own
A day census shared with APP support rather than carried alone.
An open ICU of roughly four patients , with 24/7 tele-intensivist coverage for the decisions you want a second opinion on.
1-in-3 call , included in the salary rather than an unpriced add-on.
A day-shift line this is not a nocturnist role.
Must-Haves
MD or DO
Board certified or board eligible in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine
Michigan license, or eligibility in process
Nice to Have
Prior open-ICU or tele-intensivist collaboration
APP collaboration experience
Epic familiarity
What Working Here Is Actually Like
$260,000 salary with a $30,000 bonus .
Full W-2 benefits. Medical, dental and vision from the first of the month after hire; employer-paid life at 1x salary up to $300,000; employer-paid long-term disability at 60% of salary; 401(k). The benefit plan year runs 1 October to 30 September.
Malpractice and tail both covered. Tail is the one people forget to ask about until they leave.
Epic.
24/7 tele-intensivist support on a small open ICU.
Physician-owned and physician-managed since 2012. When you escalate a problem, it reaches a physician who still works clinical shifts.
Not a locums agency. An ongoing program position with a named, stable team.
Waterfront living on Lake Huron and the St. Clair River , with Metro Detroit an easy drive.
Licensure is faster than you expect if you're coming from out of state. Michigan participates in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, so if you already hold a qualifying license elsewhere, adding this one typically runs one to three weeks rather than months.
Straight Talk
Call is 1-in-3 and it is inside the salary that's a real obligation, and worth weighing against a base that looks straightforward. An open ICU also means you co-manage critically ill patients rather than handing them off, with tele-intensivist support rather than someone at the bedside.
About Inhospital Physicians (IHP): IHP is a physician-owned and physician-managed group, headquartered in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania and operating since 2012, running Emergency Medicine, Hospitalist, Intensivist and post-acute programs for acute-care hospitals, LTACHs and health systems across multiple states.
